Dr. Sarah Scarbrough, the
visionary behind REAL LIFE, serves as its founder and director. The inception
of REAL LIFE emerged from her initiative within the Richmond City Justice
Center (jai), where she keenly observed the persistent challenges faced by
individuals transitioning from incarceration. Driven by a commitment to address
these obstacles comprehensively, she envisioned a multifaceted approach to
support those in adverse situations.
Today, REAL LIFE extends its impact through various avenues, including a Community Center, 11 recovery houses, jail programs, an expectant mother program, and Project SAF—an intervention program tackling gun violence, aiming to provide crucial support to some of our community's most at-risk men and women.
REAL LIFE, being a nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of community members through donations and the invaluable contributions of volunteers. If you share an interest in supporting their mission, or if you'd like to explore specific ways to get involved, please visit their website for more information.
